Overview

Reaver implements a brute force attack against Wifi Protected Setup (WPS) registrar PINs in order to recover WPA/WPA2 passphrases, as described in Brute forcing Wi-Fi Protected Setup When poor design meets poor implementation. by Stefan Viehböck.
Reaver has been designed to be a robust and practical attack against Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) registrar PINs in order to recover WPA/WPA2 passphrases and has been tested against a wide variety of access points and WPS implementations.
Depending on the target's Access Point (AP), to recover the plain text WPA/WPA2 passphrase the average amount of time for the transitional online brute force method is between 4-10 hours. In practice, it will generally take half this time to guess the correct WPS pin and recover the passphrase. When using the offline attack, if the AP is vulnerable, it may take only a matter of seconds to minutes.

The first version of reaver-wps (reaver 1.0) was created by Craig Heffner in 2011.
reaver-wps-fork-t6x version 1.6.x is a community forked version which includes various bug fixes, new features and additional attack method (such as the offline Pixie Dust attack).

Requirements

Build-time dependencies

  • libpcap-dev
  • build-essential

Runtime-time dependencies

  • pixiewps (optional, required for pixiedust attack)
  • aircrack-ng (optional, though recommended)

Example

sudo apt -y install build-essential libpcap-dev aircrack-ng pixiewps

The example uses Kali Linux as the Operating System (OS) as pixiewps is included.

You must already have Wiire's Pixiewps installed to perform a pixie dust attack, latest version can be found in its official github repository.

    -S, --dh-small                  Use small DH keys to improve crack speed
    -L, --ignore-locks              Ignore locked state reported by the target AP

Example:
    reaver -i wlan0mon -b 00:90:4C:C1:AC:21 -vv
 ```  

Options description and examples of use can be found in the [Readme from Craig Heffner](https://github.com/t6x/reaver-wps-fork-t6x/blob/master/docs/README.REAVER). Here comes a description of the new options introduced since then:  
## -K or -Z  // --pixie-dust 
The `-K` and `-Z` option perform the offline attack, Pixie Dust _(`pixiewps`)_, by automatically passing the **PKE**, **PKR**, **E-Hash1**, **E-Hash2**, **E-Nonce** and **Authkey** variables. `pixiewps` will then try to attack **Ralink**, **Broadcom** and **Realtek** detected chipset.
**Special note**: If you are attacking a **Realtek AP**, **do NOT** use small DH Keys (`-S`) option.
User will have to execute reaver with the cracked PIN (option -p) to get the WPA pass-phrase. 
This is a temporary solution and an option to do a full attack will be implemented soon
## -p with arbitrary string // --pin=<wps pin>  
See our wiki: [Introducing a new way to crack WPS: Option p with an Arbitrary String](https://github.com/t6x/reaver-wps-fork-t6x/wiki/Introducing-a-new-way-to-crack-WPS:-Option--p-with-an-Arbitrary-String) 

# Wash Usage

A detailed description of the options with concrete syntax examples can be found in Craig Heffner's wash readme.
About the new options and features:

-a // --all

The option -a of Wash will list all access points, including those without WPS enabled.

-j // --json

The extended WPS information (serial, model...) from the AP probe answer will be printed in the terminal (in json format)

"Vendor" column

Wash now displays the manufacturer of the wifi chipset from the Acces Points in order to know if they are vulnerable to pixie dust attack.

Stdout can be piped

Notice that wash output can be piped into other commands. For more information see the wiki article Everything about the new options from wash
